Bromley v Bath City

MANAGER Mark Goldberg believes his Bromley squad are in good shape ahead of the club's opening Blue Square South fixture on Saturday.

The Lillywhites have emerged from a tough pre-season with draws against higher level opposition in Crystal Palace, Colchester United and Ebbsfleet United, plus a thumping 6-2 win at Ryman League Premier Division Folkestone Invicta.

New signings Danny Hockton, Simon Glover, Ali Chaaban and Tony Quinton have all impressed at various stages over the summer.

Goldberg said: "We have had a promising pre-season. We have learnt what we have needed to about certain players and certain formations, and how we want to adapt to the new league.

"We hope we've learnt those lessons and we are well set up for the season ahead."

Nic McDonnell and Francis Duku are expected to be available when Bromley entertain Bath City at Hayes Lane.
